Lesson 8 JAIN PRAYER
Teacher : Today we are going to talk about a jain Prayer. You
are familiar with the various prayers for various occasions. Among all of them the “Namokār Mantra" is the most popular prayer. "NAMOKĀR MANTRA” is the prayer that shows our respect for those souls who are liberated as well as to those who are on the path to be liberated.
Can any of you recite the Namokār Mantra? Sejal : Yes, I can say the Namokār Mantra. My mother
taught me.
Namo Arihantānam Namo Siddhānam Namo Āyariyānam Namo Uvajjhāyānam
Namo Loe Savva Sāhunam Eso Panch Namokkāro Savva-Pavppanāsano Manglānancha Savvesim Padhamam Havai Mangalam. Teacher : Sejal, this is very good. You said it without any
mistake. Do you know the meaning of it ? Sejal : No sir. Kanu : Can we recite Namokār Mantra together ?
